When word reaches his well-connected family in Washington, D.C., the doctor's twin brother sets out to find him. A timid and conflicted man, Stuart Sparta is ill-equipped for the rigors of a war zone, and the tumultuous journey will either kill him or dramatically change his life. In the chaos of destroyed villages and mujahedeen ambushes, Stuart is forced to come to terms with a psychological wound, sexual turmoil, and a privileged upbringing that brought him into contact with heads of state and powerbrokers but couldn't rescue him from his own dull existence.
